A man stands at night on a paved courtyard wearing a red-orange turban with a gold crest, a red-orange dhoti-style garment with a gold waist ornament, layered gold necklaces, and a long multicolour-and-white flower garland, and he looks down while a woman in a red-brown sari with folded hands at her chest stands beside him, and a woman in a gold-and-pink sari at right holds a brass plate with lit oil lamps. Hanging brass bells and a framed portrait of a saffron-robed sadhu with a turban hang on a red wall behind them, and a brass vessel sits on a stone counter. Whether the central man is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone.
